There's a cab on and cab off procedure for everything on these trucks. Sometimes it's just a matter of comparing the quantity of parts and amount if work required to repair with one way or the other.

Nope, remove the fan, shroud and stator, the pump is held on by 3 bolts.

I agree. Replacing a P/S pump is not as difficult as it looks on this truck with this engine.

Well, I just did it with only removing the shroud...wish I had removed the fan and stator! What a PITA it is to replace a PS pump on the 6.4...design engineers were sadists...
